↵F0-a Average of three replicates. se = 0.7 nmol min−1mg−1protein.
↵F0-b Days after flowering.
↵F0-c Reproductive leaf is the leaf next to a seed pod and is staged relative to flowering.
↵F0-d Young leaf is the first true leaf of 14-d-old plants.
↵F0-e Mature leaf is the first true leaf of 30-d-old plants, before flowering.
